Pro active businesses, community and Eureka Main Street form action oriented neighborhood watch

Old Town and Downtown Eureka Neighborhood Watch is in the process of being formed, check out the facebook page. The logo is an eye with the slogan We look out for Each Other. Laura Dubois, whose family owns Alirose Boutique called Eureka Main Street to see if there was a current Neighborhood Watch. EMS Charlotte McDonald executive director  was very supportive and so is the Eureka Police Department.

Two months ago, Dubois created a questionnaire which was passed out to residents and businesses. The Wine Spot created a facebook page. The first meeting is June 25 in the lobby of Vance. Check out facebook or contact Eureka Main Street for times.

The purpose of this neighborhood watch meeting is not just to report and reduce crime but to build a greater sense of community. The purpose of the first meeting is to be action oriented and address the top concerns that have been identified in the questionnaires submitted.

Eureka Main Street is helping set up the meeting and have a central drop off point to drop the questionnaires.

The meeting is to get ideas from the community to deal with top concerns.

Dubois said "Charlotte has been great."
